What a tough job pare...I'm totally anti-Jones. What a tough job parenting must be. I think personally that you're right on and that your daughter will be stronger for it (though of course no way to convince her of that now). I grew up with minimal stuff and today, I value what I do have but don't place a huge value on it.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956724450988998624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847128469382871503.post-50710997026430801702012-01-05T12:01:27.288-08:002012-01-05T12:01:27.288-08:00just keep letting them know that the holiday is no...just keep letting them know that the holiday is not about Gifts. it's a tough one, im sure.

We set a similar budget for our son, maybe even less since he is still pretty young. I have been to homes where the kids have easily twice as many toys as my son and felt badly for a bit. Then I realize that my kid is perfectly happy and get over it. Sometimes being a parent is so hard.Nitsirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05180758156444549882noreply@blogger.com
